Compton quotes

Compton got such a legacy in hip-hop.

My parents were fairly young in the city of Compton. So the things that they played – you know, that was the hip crowd. So I was being exposed to all these ideas, from Big Daddy Kane to Eazy-E to the Bay Area – Too Short, E-40 – you know, back to Marvin Gaye and the Isley Brothers.

I’ve got an extra-specific story about Dr. Dre. I saw him when I was 9 years old in Compton – him and Tupac. They were shooting the second ‚California Love‘ video. My pops had seen him and ran back to the house and got me, put me on his neck, and we stood there watching Dre and Pac in a Bentley.

As a kid from Compton, you can get all the success in the world and still question your worth.

My mom’s one of 13 siblings, and they all got six kids, and till I was 13 everybody was in Compton.

You don’t hear no artists from Compton showing vulnerability.
